A Manhattan man driving with four children in his car was among 15 people arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, 12 of them on New Year's Day, police said.

Amalfi Chico, 58, was stopped at 2:17 a.m. Wednesday after police saw his 1996 Mercury operating erratically on the southbound Bronx River Parkway near Bronx River Road in Yonkers. Chico, who told the officer he was driving his girlfriend and her family home to the Bronx, failed a field sobriety test, Westchester County police spokesman Kieran O'Leary said.
